224G Enabling Technologies
As the industry gears up to define 224G, existing architectures will be pushed to their limits and innovative technologies will be given the opportunity to supplant older architectures as the new standard. Intra-box point-to-point cable assemblies will move closer-to, or even on-to chip packages as system implementors are pushed to limit the number of connection points in each link. Thermal challenges will be as critical as electrical performance. Amphenol’s portfolio of modules, cages, and heatsinks provide a holistic solution for customers looking to solve system concerns.
Standards
For 224Gb/s applications, copper interconnect is not “dead”, but will need to adapt to compete with next-generation optics solutions. Active Copper Cables (ACCs) and Active Electrical Cables (AECs) will likely displace some passive copper Direct Attach Cables (DACs). Pluggable optical transceivers will be challenged by on-board or mid-board solutions looking to lower, or more evenly distribute, thermal load density throughout the system. There are several active Consortiums and Multi-Source Agreements (MSAs) looking to build consensus support to enable interoperability around these new technologies. These efforts will help major industry standards like IEEE, OIF, and OCP establish their 224G projects.
What constitutes a 224G solution?
At this early stage there could be many paths to a 224G solution. Amphenol has several solutions that are well-positioned to support the development effort. These solutions support a wide range of architectures solving reach, density, and thermal challenges. Amphenol’s OverPass products help provide advanced electrical performance without compromising practical physical reach. Convergence between our mezzanine and backplane configurations will support the transition to new architectures and promote the possibilities of co-packaging solutions.
